1035 Kevin Stewart

Biography

Midfielder Stewart signed for Hull City for a fee reputed to be £4m, amid the inevitable fire sale that followed relegation from the Premier League. He made his debut in late August 2017 at QPR and was injured within ten minutes. He spent the rest of the season drifting in and out of the starting XI, generally failing to impress as his obvious capabilities were hobbled by his tendency to cough up possession cheaply. He started his second season on the City bench, behind youngster Dan Batty in the midfield engine room, and continued in a support role before emerging as a reliable first team starter during City’s December uptick in form. This restored his reputation as a reliable midfield general, combining tough tackling with imaginative distribution, form that he took into 2019/20 with early season man of the match performances. He scored his first City goals at Luton in September 2019.

Born in Enfield, Stewart began his career at Tottenham Hotspur but by the age of 20 had failed to make any impression on the first team and switched to Liverpool. At Anfield he was loaned out several times and found himself an occasional participant in Jurgen Klopp’s first team during 2016 and 2017
